Padma Lakshmi may have moved to the USA as a child but her love for traditional south-Indian dishes is evident as she regularly shares recipes for quick and delicious popular dishes. In a similar vein, the Indian-American author-actor took to Instagram to share the recipe for cabbage poriyal.
“This crunchy cabbage poriyal is layered with delicate flavours and comes together in minutes using only shredded cabbage, shredded coconut, and some staple Indian pantry items,” she wrote, adding that it serves as a great side dish with any curry or dal and rice. It “goes with so much more than just Indian food— I like to eat it the next day wrapped in a warm tortilla and smothered with my spicy scrambled eggs dotted with green chile and cilantro,” she added.
Padma Lakshmi shared that poriyal is a Tamil word for this particular variety of stir fry that she has demonstrated in the video. “You could use this same base to sizzle up whatever veg you might have on hand (beans poriyal is popular!)”
